All I gotta say is that next weeks game between the Colts and the Pats is going to be pretty fucking great.

Now why the hell the Hawks gotta be on at the same time.

Also looking forward to our chance for a rematch with the Bears.

it's going to be a nonstop party over here.
and yes, the pats/colts game is going to be out of control.

Looks like your theory about former Cubs tanking out their teams is true, although I don't think any of our guys who choked at the plate or pitched like it was batting practice were the guys you mentioned. Oh well, wait til next year, right?

I guess God wasn't that big on a baseball team full of evangelical Christians.

Anything that makes Yankee fans this unhappy can't be all bad.

I like that you post after six pm. I need more of this, preferably not sports bs.

Hear! Hear!

An perfect storm of perfect assholery.

Check that article, prof.

did you see that comet? don't you remember "heaven's gate?" you're about to be "left behind."

or not. it's just a fucking game played by fucking assholes and watched by fucking fans. it's not the end of the world, yo. the end of your world, but i don't care, because you're left behind, bitch.

yeah, the comet. it has no tail, because it is heading for us straight-on.

let me know if you need a translation into your language of "4th down and 98 yards to first."

You're having a bad day. Nobody ever SAID it was the end of the world. Why am I defending this...

It's all fun and games till the idiots in Boston start rioting and kill someone. Especially since rioting seems to be a favorite past time of sports fans there.

Amelia, I was addressing the interloper known as "Chicago Fan," so don't get your panties in a twist.

That's what wrong with Seattle...

transformed into the team any baseball fan must HATE...
I've been hearing a lot about how the Red Sox are now supposedly the team that everybody hates, and I can only assume that this is mostly coming from bitter Yankees fans (Chicago Fan notwithstanding), as most people I know are fairly fond of the Sox. They're still the Arsenal to the despised Yankees' Chelsea. They'd have to put up several decades of continued dominance and asshattery to equal the level of loathing directed at the Yankees.

Go Celtics!

The best team in college football is OHIO STATE. The second best is the oregon Ducks who come from godless Eugene, Oregon. The rest is mere conversation.

Nothing more enjoyable than listening to the jealous sour grape ranting from people who live in shitty sports towns. Haha.

Sorry that your sports teams suck. Next time maybe your teams should enter the Special Olympics where even losers are winners!

@8 Sorry, I was drunk. Will correct it, I swear.

Professional sports is like pornography- surrogate achievement.

Boston is our sister city- hyperliterate, rabidly liberal, shitty traffic. Don't hate them because they are beautiful.

It's pretty obvious that "Chicago Fan" is bitter and can't stand to watch a team that actually understands that baseball is fun AND a way to make millions of dollars. When the Cubs make the desperate play for A-Rod w/o realizing that he is the new source of the curse, Chicago fans will smother themselves with decades more lossaholic grief. Personally, I will root for the Cubbies if they're in the running.
I just wouldn't bet on it. Today I'm a richer man, asshole.

boston is also one racist shit hole.

Why the fuck was Fox talking about A-ROD in the 8th inning of a one-run World Series game?! Fuck Scott Borass and his Ass-Rod.

And did George Clooney win the World Series MVP award?

Go COLTS!!

Thankfully Chicago fans will always have their loser Cubs to love. And they can't even use the lame "small-market team" excuse that loser franchises (including the Mariners, which is a joke) like to trot out. No shortage of corporate money in Chicago; just piss-poor management and a team that's satisfied as long as the lemmings keep coming to see their charming ballpark.

SeMe - I don't agree. Boston is a city where many generations of all different kinds of immigrants have moved to to establish themselves. There's a lot of pride among ethnicities and nationalities that have come to be Bostonians. There's also a sense of ownership of place that doesn't really exist in Seattle.

I think it's more accurate to say that Boston is about ethnicity, tradition and neighborhoods.

Go Bruins!!

... and busing riots.

granted, m naht fram dhat, and boston has changed a lot over the years, but im with bill russell, pahts of Bahhston can be as racist as parts of the deep south.

Agreed, though my experience was about turf and neighborhoods. It really didn't seem about Racism (big R) so much as people had their spots and you didn't stop along the way unless you had business there or knew people. Downtown Boston was the crossroads for everyone and those neighborhood rules didn't apply. Hey, this held true for whitey-me in other white neighborhoods. I didn't go to Southie to get my ice cream cone.

The mindsets that go along with the long ethnic traditions there die hard. But, yeah, a lot has changed there since I was a kid.

RIP Breakers!!
